is there anybody who is using IB as execution platform and other data source

is there anybody?


I wanna use esigal as data feed and IB as execution platform

but I don't know whether such a combination is a good one?

 

i use realtick as my main quote source, IB as my main brokerage.

 

I use both with no issues. Though I don't integrate the trading capability into eSignal (i.e. being able to click in eSignal to generate trades via IB).

 

I have heard that the reason why IB is being faster is because they aggregate the ticks where E-signal shows every tick. Either could be advantage or disadvanrage depending on what you are trying to do.

someone says IB data is faster than esignal

does it cause a problem?

 

I use DTN.IQfeed
